Hey Product Hunt community! 👋 Today we're really excited to share, after almost 2 years in making, Zencal - a scheduling tool for paid meetings and better teamwork 🎉 🗿 Our story & milestones Not so long ago I discovered the great power of scheduling tools in my different projects. Adding a CTA to an onboarding call on every page boosted our conversions by over 150%. Also, we started making some extra profit by offering paid consultations instead of free discovery calls. Since we’ve implemented this simple rule in my startups, we started growing at faster pace. Last year I’ve been researching tools that could help us schedule more paid consultations and ended up with Calendly that was far from perfect. Later on I found out that Wojtek is pursuing the idea of such tool as he was facing similar problems in his enterprise. We decided to join forces, and today, after over a year in making and iterating on early feedback, we’re ready to launch Zencal 🎉 Early on I would say that Zencal is Calendly for paid meetings. But now it’s even more than this! What makes Zencal unique? ✨ 💎 Great scheduling UX for better conversions: In no time you can create a booking link with your custom schedule and send it over to the attendees. 💎 Paid meetings and subscriptions: You can connect your Stripe account and define different variants for selling your meetings. Zencal is the only tool out there that works perfectly with subscriptions, too. 💎 Team features: You can easily add and manage your team members and create round-robin meetings or meetings where your client selects the team member. It's so easy to sync everyone's calendars this way! 💎 Create a beautiful profile page: Customise your profile page, add logo and colors, reviews and your product images. This might be the only landing page you'll ever need! 💎 Zencal Buddy: Professional human assistant taking care of your clients, for a fraction of a price. and finally... 💎 Get for FREE what you get from Calendly in paid plan: You can use Zencal for free to host free meetings. Paid meetings are where Zencal shines, with features such as: ✨ Selling meetings in subscriptions, promotions, bundles ✨ Selling group meetings, 1-on-1’s, limited slots and much more ✨ High converting landing pages and scheduling UX Plus we've got some other great features: 👉 Granular control over cancelling and re-scheduling 👉 Adding a ghost attendee that gets notified about the meeting 👉 Setting up custom e-mail and SMS notifications And much more! For the past year it’s been a fantastic journey, slowly growing, listening to early customers and iterating on their feedback. Now we’re ready to make Zencal work for you and can’t wait to hear what you think about it. Looking forward to your feedback Product Hunt fam 🙏

Hello Product Hunt! 👋 My name is Wojtek, and together with Greg and our small team, we’ve been working on Zencal for over a year. To be honest — this is my first launch and I’ve never been more nervous. On the other hand, I’m really happy about what we’ve managed to accomplish and hope you guys will appreciate it 🙏 During my daily job in a big enterprise I realised there’s great potential in selling consultations for early leads to better convert sales. As a side gig I also started selling programming lessons and it proved to be a great source of side income. I needed to automate the scheduling process: 1. My corp and private lessons calendars have to be sorted out 2. I need students to be able to pay for the lesson and book it easily 3. After payment I’d send them an invoice and add it to my marketing automation workflow Easy as that. But then it started to get more complex. I couldn’t get the features I needed from tools available on the market, especially that I started to build a small marketplace with my friends also willing to teach programming after-hours. Most of the tools focused on scheduling but not payments, resulting in poor user experience and conversion. That is how I started Zencal. I figured I can create a simple app that would precisely cover my consultation flow that converted best. Later on, I started to add more features that I really needed. I discovered that there’s no tool on the market that will schedule meetings in subscriptions, then automatically re-book the new slots after renewal. As I worked on this feature I realised why it’s so hard to implement it but after long weeks managed to do it. Also, I felt that sending a scheduling link was just not as professional for a premium service as I wanted. So I started hiring human assistants that would help me with the booking process. And it worked great! My students got excellent experience and I could focus on teaching, what I do best. Fast forward few months and Zencal has a lot of great features I can’t live without and hope, they will work for you too! I’d be extremely grateful for any feedback and your thoughts on what we feel might be the go-to approach for scheduling paid meetings! Thank you, Wojtek

Hey, congratulations on launch! Gonna try it next week as primary tool for making my own meetings. I was wondering, what payment system is used for paying? Stripe? Any other options, mb crypto? And is it possible to add subscription feature? Like, I have events that are going recurrently, so maybe subscription will be greater option for me

@alexey_yurkevich thank you for the feedback, really happy you're going to try it out! You can connect Stripe, PayPal and few other systems we've implemented for Polish payment methods primarily. But we also have a great integration with easy_ that is going to launch internationally pretty soon giving you even more options to pay and much better conversions. In easy_ there are crypto payments on the roadmap 😊

Hey! Congratulations with the launch! I also found calendly inconvenient. I'll try Zencal and hope I'll enjoy. Can I work with my startup team (we are pre-money) for free too?

Hey @gregrog, Just tried out the product on a free plan basis. Though the onboarding experience looks pretty seamless but I feel somewhere cal.com is a better alternative IMHO. Also, any plans of keeping the paid plans on revenue share instead of a fixed subscription fee every month? Just curious to know your opinion on this model.

@thepmfguy Thanks Gaurav! Yeah, we love cal.com, too 😊 We're mostly focused on paid meetings though and try to make a product that will ultimately offer great experience and conversions. Not sure if cal already has some of our features such as selling meetings in subscriptions etc. Currently we have no plans for the rev share model - that would probably be a bit less comfortable for most of our users, especially with generous free plan and low price for pro plan currently!

@faridh Thanks a lot Farid! Happy to hear that 😊 From my point of view the branding and UI path that was really tedious gave us the edge and great results!

I used Zencal: - for my client's music school: as a tool for easy schedule trial lessons - to schedule appointments in recruitment process - to schedule consultations in my mentoring program It's very easy to set up various options and integrate it with tools you already use. Support is also very responsive and helpful.
